I recently ran across this: Kim Brownell conceived of and hosted the “Cof- fee and Conversation” book event. Marie Dixon is leading an effort to explore the idea of starting a “paper pantry.” (Paper pantries are sort of like food pantries, but rather than offering food, they offer personal and household necessities that cannot be purchased with food stamps—things like toilet paper, bath soap, toothpaste, diapers, feminine hygiene products, and dish soap.)

I am also grateful for the many parishioners who continue to do the ministries they have long done, in areas where there are things that simply always need to be done: the altar guild; Eucharistic minis- ters, lectors, and intercessors; coffee hour hosts; building volunteers; church school teachers; the This cartoon reflects generalities about Chris- choir; and on and on and on.

10. St. James’ Sponsors Successful October 24th Bloodmobile

During the Friday afternoon Red Cross Blood Drive at St. James’, 43 people sought to donate blood. Although a few were deferred, actual blood collected totaled 38 pints! There was a small but steady stream of donors all day – the Red Cross staff was pleased with both the turn-out, and the hospitality of the St. James’ parishioners who helped set up, greet, feed, encourage, and thank all those involved.

St. James’ did a superb job. Homemade, Homemade, Homemade! That’s what the donors and staff kept saying about St. James’ post donation fare. Everyone loved our sandwiches, brownies, cookies and bars. Sweet grapes satisfied some very health conscious donors but the overwhelming favorites were the homemade sweet treats supplied by St. James’ parishioners. We offered a good variety of nibbles to tide folks over until dinner.

Supporting the Red Cross Bloodmobile is great stewardship of time, talent and treasure! Volunteering to greet donors is a wonderful way to devote your time by helping others to donate blood. Our parish’s talented chefs and bakers exercised their stewardship muscles as well. And what better example of giving personal treasure can there be than a blood donor. Many thanks to those who volunteered to greet all the Red Cross staff, donors, friends and family who entered our church. We’re also grateful to those folks who brought fruit or who made sandwiches, cookies and bars to feed our guests. Providing hospitality like this helps others to donate blood which in turn helps save lives!

Healthy bone marrow makes a constant supply of red cells, plasma and platelets. The body will replenish the elements given during a blood donation – some in a matter of hours and others in a matter of weeks. Donors can give blood every 56 days – so if you weren’t eligible today, you may be by the next time the Red Cross is in town. Or, if you intended to give blood during our Blood Drive but were unable to coordinate your time, do not despair. The Red Cross will be in Glastonbury on November 18th – just before Thanksgiving at First Congregational Church down the street. Also we may be able to sponsor another Blood Drive during Lent. Stay tuned and watch for an announcement for a new opportunity put your faith in action by giving your time, talent and treasure toward our next Blood Drive.

11. Christians are Called to Give Blood Christians are being encouraged to make a different kind of offering this week and donate their blood. The call is going out as part of National Blood Week and follows on from the Flesh and Blood campaign that launched in [early 2013.] As part of the campaign, the church is being called upon to encourage Christians to become blood donors. Research carried out for the campaign revealed strong support among Christians for giving blood. More than two thirds of those surveyed (70%) said they regarded blood or organ donation to be part of their core 'Christian giving' or were open to the idea, while almost one in 10 Christians had given blood in the last year - higher than the national UK average of 4% over the last two years. The campaign aims not only to attract more first time donors but also to encourage those who have donated before to do so again. Lorna Williamson, Medical Director of NHS Blood and Transplant says, "All major faith groups support donation in the spirit of giving and we're excited to explore this in more detail with the Christian church. "By raising awareness amongst its members and community about the daily need for blood transfusion we hope to banish myths, educate people and encourage blood donation." Supporters of the campaign include the Evangelical Alliance, The Salvation Army and the Diocese of Worcester. The diocese tweeted, "This week is National Blood Week. You know what to do." The Salvation Army tweeted: "Today is the start of National Blood Week. Register, donate or volunteer your venue." Lt Col Ian Barr, Secretary for Programme at The Salvation Army, shared the personal impact of blood donation on his life in an interview for the campaign. "I used to teach Christian doctrine and I remember teaching many times that 'the life is in the blood'. It hadn't really struck me until I had two units of blood to allow me to come out of hospital last September," he said. "I went from being an invalid in bed, just about able to function, to coming out of hospital and resuming [my vacation] that had been interrupted and really enjoying it. It meant a great deal to be able to sense that someone else's blood had made such a huge change to how I felt about myself, my outlook and my sense of wellbeing." Churches and individuals are being encouraged to sign up together as a community on Sunday. Churches can also offer their buildings as potential new blood donor sites for NHS Blood and Transplant (NHSBT).

12. Stewardship Commission

More Than Enough By Jerry Hoffman

God provides all you need to do what God calls you to do. You have more than enough talent, leadership, imagination and money available. Make an effort to encourage, discover and identify the assets God has entrusted to your care. God is extravagant with you. You can do far more than you ask or imagine.

Paul asks the Christians at Corinth to give an offering for the Christian people in Jerusalem who are living in extreme poverty. In this portion of the appeal he makes a case for a generous response. I invite you to read the following passage as a personal letter from God through Paul to you and to everyone in your congregation: "Remember that the person who sows few seeds will have a small crop; the one who sows many seeds will have a large crop. You should each give, then, as you have decided, not with regret or out of a sense of duty; for God loves the one who gives gladly. And God is able to give you more than you need, so that you will always have all you need for yourselves and more than enough for every good cause. As the scripture says: "He gives generously to the needy; his kindness lasts forever." 2 Corinthians 9:6-9 (CAV)

How well do you think your congregation at the present time will receive this appeal to give above your present giving level? How will you? When people are asked to stretch in their giving, there are voices that cry out: "Who me?" "Who us?" "We are not talented enough." "We are too poor." A more than enough perspective "We do not have the leadership." is biblical. It is rooted in the "We are too old or too young." confidence that God will provide. "We can't meet the budget we have." "If only we had more people." A missional congregation trusts "If only we have more youth." God and generously sows seeds of "If only we had [or] could get some rich and love in the world. talented members in our congregation."

I have heard these responses and many similar ones in congregations [where 30 worship and in those where 5,000 worship.] These are the voices of those whose mindset has bought into the myth of scarcity. This myth generates fear and defines continued

13. Stewardship Commission

More than Enough, continued people as deficient. In response to this, here is what I believe. First, regardless of your size or your context, God has given you and your church opportunities to join Jesus in loving the world. You are called to continue the work that Jesus began. God expects that the church will love mercy, do justly and walk humbly. Jesus states that we are to "love God" and to "love our neighbor" as ourselves and Jesus commissions us to make disciples.

Every congregation and every person is called by God to enter into mission locally and globally. If you don't know what that might be for your congregation, you need to prayerfully identify it, write it down, pray about it, talk about it and intentionally commit yourselves to meet it. In Paul's letter to your congregation, Paul offers the opportunity to respond to the needs of the impoverished Christians in Jerusalem. Second, God provides all you need – to do what God calls you to do. You have more than enough talent, leadership, imagination and money available. Make an effort to encourage, discover and identify the assets God has entrusted to your care. God is extravagant with you. You can do far more than you ask or imagine. A more than enough perspective is biblical. It is rooted in the confidence that God will provide. A missional congregation trusts God and generously sows seeds of love in the world. Recall what Paul wrote: 1. The more seeds you sow the greater the harvest. That is common sense. 2. God desires you to be a joyful giver. How do you know the joy of giving unless you give? God who is the ultimate giver finds great joy in giving. 3. And here is the clincher: "God is able to give you more than you need, so that you will always have all you need for yourselves and more than enough for every good cause". I invite you to live in God's promises. I invite you to choose a ministry which calls upon the use of the gifts that have been entrusted to your congregation. See yourselves from God's perspective not your own. The more you trust God and join Jesus in being the hands, feet and voice that God employs to bring God's love, hope, joy, peace and justice to the world, the more you will be living into the church you are called to be.
